Resource management revolves around your most valuable asset – your people, or resources. With the right, qualified team members in place, businesses are able to implement strategy, finish projects, and achieve their objectives. By aligning resource capacity (supply of people) with resource allocation (demand for people), resource management ensures you can effectively drive success within your organization.
Predict future resource requirements based on current projects, products, and programs. Leverage historical data and your current plan to confidently report what roles, skills, teams, and people will be needed in the future. With Demand Planning Resources, Tempus empowers you to both assign your people and teams and plan for their roles without disrupting active work.
Understand how many people you will need to complete future work. In Tempus, when planning with generic resources, you can plan 6, 12, 24, 36+ months in advance to understand not only the roles and skills demanded of the portfolio or projects but also how many people and which teams you will need to complete that future work. Leverage your team’s capacity to show how they can support business priorities and revenue.
Team Resources in Tempus Resource address the reality of PMOs today. No one project planning method is used across the organization which leaves gaps in capacity plans and reporting. With Team Resources, you can confidently report on when your demand goes beyond your capacity and model out best case scenarios for project sequence and resource availability.
Run models for your forecasting and capacity planning scenarios. With Tempus Resource’s What-If, you can define the sequence of projects in your portfolio based on both priority and availability, show the impact of new work coming in mid plan, see the resource possibilities of new client work alongside your current plan, see the impact of a person leaving the team, and more. Portfolio Managers and Resource Managers can confidently communicate each scenario with real data, not assumptions.
Tempus Resource can help you calculate this key metric in your resource management, helping you see how much time your employees plan to spend, and actually do spend, on particular work. This key metric drills down into the effectiveness of your resources and their availability. Having your resource utilization rate can lead to better planning and more efficient resource allocation.
Tempus Resource enables employees to submit their time on projects so managers can identify gaps from their plan to the actual time spent. This also provides leaders insight into how resources are working and any issues arising from workload demands.
Every solution must have the ability to report on the data present. Tempus Resource’s standard reporting is easy to use and provides value to end users right away. With Tempus Resource’s Insight+, users become business intelligence pros, creating and utilizing dynamic dashboards in the same solution they use to manage their people, teams, and projects.
With a resource-first approach, Tempus focuses on both the present AND the future. Project and Resource Managers can see where people and team risks are going to slow down progress while also planning future work at the same time.
